Do No Harm

<p>Healing isn't a miracle. It's a transaction.</p><p>Malakai Vane is not a white mage. He doesn't pray he doesn't sparkle and he doesn't do charity. He is a combat medic who knows the one immutable law of magic: The Tax.</p><p>Every knit bone costs a steak dinner. Every regrown limb costs a week of starvation. And if you run out of calories the magic eats <em>you</em>.</p><p>Malakai is currently starving addicted to painkillers and owes a life-debt to the Reaper himself. To pay it off he has to escort a party of incompetence-a vanity-obsessed sorcerer a kleptomaniac rogue and a Paladin who thinks he can seduce dragons-into the frozen North.</p><p>Their target? The Well of Eternity. Their enemy? A legendary healer who claims to have cured death itself.</p><p>But Malakai knows the truth: Death isn't a disease you cure. It's a bill you pay. And when the bill comes due Malakai is the only one with the stomach to do the dirty work.</p><p>House M.D. meets Dungeons & Dragons in this visceral dark fantasy medical procedural where the magic system is based on biology and the hero is just trying to find a vein.</p>
